CLE Cosmetics CCC Cream Review and Swatches

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

CLE Cosmetics CCC Cream, which stands for Color Control and Change Cream (CCC), is a primer, sunscreen and foundation in one. This beautiful multipurpose skin perfecter has a lightweight texture that melts into the skin, and it offers sheer and yet buildable coverage with a lovely satin dewy finish. It feels light, rather than heavy on the skin, and if you love an ethereal glow and excellent coverage, then this is a wonderful choice in lieu of a primer, sunscreen and heavier foundation.

This cruelty-free, vegan and gluten-free beauty is free of artificial fragrances, but it has a very faint aroma that is informed by the Bergamot, Orange and Ylang Ylang Essential Oils, but it is neither cloying, nor long-lasting. 

It utilizes both physical and chemical sunscreens, Titanium Dioxide 8.88%, Octinoxate 7.00% and Octisalate 3.00% respectively, and the level of sun protection varies from 30 to 50 depending on the shade of the CCC Cream.

SPF 30: Warm Deep 501 | Neutral Deep 503 | Cool Deep 506 and SPF 50: Neutral Fair 101 | Neutral Light 103 | Warm Light 106 | Neutral Medium Light 201 | Warm Medium Light 203 | Neutral Medium 206 | Golden Medium 301 | Warm Medium 303 | Cool Medium Deep 306 | Warm Medium Deep 401 | Golden Medium Deep 403 | Olive Medium Deep 406.

Directions: Apply a pea-sized amount of CCC Cream to cleansed & prepped skin. Using your fingertips, blend from the center of your face outward (hint: the warmth from your fingers will help bring the pigment out). Continue to blend with your fingertips until the capsules release their pigment and the color adjusts to your skin tone. If extra coverage is preferred, build upon the color by adding another pea-sized amount of CCC Cream to skin after the first layer has set in.

Overall Assessment: I love lighter coverage from tinted moisturizers, and I prefer dewy to matte finishes, and therefore CLE Cosmetics CCC Cream is perfect for me. It is also a wonderful choice for the summer, but I will be wearing this when the weather cools down as well. This is a very nice product, and I am thrilled to have discovered it.

  1. This sounds great. I like a very lightweight coverage so I think I'd really like this. I've tried CLE Cosmetics before and have been pleased with them.
